Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

Originally, this was just one of Sato's alternative plans; building good relationships with Haruta and the others outside of practice was also one of his alternative plans.

Even if he were to seek advice, Sato didn't plan to do so so soon.

After all, even if he told Chiba the same thing, he couldn't persuade him to help him, let alone Uehara.

However, now that he has this skill of having a sense of justice, and since Chiba and Sanada have both said that what he lacks is a sense of passion, he can finally take action.

Just as he had planned, everything went quite smoothly.

With her acting skills honed by a sense of justice, Chiba did not object after hearing his plan yesterday.

"Oh well."

Seeing Sato's determined expression, Haruta nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go, take my car."

Springfield, as a long-time employee, owns a car.

"This is troublesome."

Watching the two leave like that, Sanada didn't know what to say.

Sato still didn't understand.

......

Not long after, the two arrived at the Toei team's filming location.

People came and went on set, and Springfield was quite familiar with the place. When they saw Springfield, the staff and actors all greeted him.

After all, Springfield is a main character here, so he naturally has a corresponding status.

And so the two of them arrived at Uehara's location, in a small conference room.

Uehara also saw this young man whom Chiba had high hopes for.

He looks handsome and clean-cut, and is very polite.

It makes a good first impression.

"Please sit down."

After gesturing for Haruta to leave, Uehara said.

Although he wasn't entirely sure if the other person's acting skills were really that amazing, since it was Chiba who said it, he didn't intend to deny it from the start.

"Chiba said your acting lacks passion?"

Time is money, so Uehara didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.

The room, occupied by only the two of them, was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Although based on experience, he didn't think that a boy of this age could demonstrate much sense of justice, Uehara did not refuse.

After all, Chiba's face still had to be given.

Moreover, if the boy really has the ability, helping him would just be going with the flow, and Sato would become a member of his network of connections.

In short, observe first, then act.

It is also in his best interest.

If that really doesn't work, he'll advise the young people to be down-to-earth and so on.

"OK."

Sato stood up upon hearing this.

Unfazed by the other party's words, and with the activation of his skill, the subtle changes in his facial expressions gradually made Uehara more serious, even straightening his back a bit.

Seeing the changes in the boy's expression, Uehara's expression gradually became serious as well.

The boy's acting was excellent; he seemed more like a righteous hero than any of the other righteous heroes outside.

However, just as Chiba told him, he lacked the passion he once had.

It's more than enough for a calm and collected team member like the blue one, but it's a bit lacking for the generally passionate red one.

Indeed, this was within his capabilities.

While instructing Sato will certainly take some time, it seems to be worthwhile so far.

"good."

Seeing the young man look at him after he finished his lines, Uehara couldn't help but nod.

"Just as Chiba-san said, there's still something lacking."

"Some movements are too rigid and lack drive."

As Uehara explained, he picked up a pencil from the table and began drawing stick figures on the paper in front of him.

Although these stick figures are simple, their movements and postures are easy to understand.

"The one on top is you, and the one below is the improved posture. Take a look and try it yourself."

As Uehara said, the person above was very upright, while the little person below leaned forward a bit more and held his head higher.

"OK."

Sato looked serious and quickly got into a study mode.

......

Three days passed by in a flash.

Meanwhile, Sato, amidst his busy special training, followed Ogawa to Kyoto.

Kyoto has a more antique feel than Tokyo.

However, that's not the main reason Sato came today.

As a character with a billing order, the boy could be heard saying "Ryo Sato-san is entering" on set after he entered the Uzumasa Film Village in Kyoto.

It sounds quite pleasant.

Of course, the person who looked over only glanced in Sato's direction and nodded as a greeting.

"After all, you've only just risen from being an extra."

"It's Xiaochuan, who came with him, saying softly."

"Yes, I know."

Sato didn't mind.

He certainly didn't have the ability to inspire enthusiasm in those around him.

He is not irreplaceable.

Although the pay is much better than that of an extra.

But it's only just begun.

"How's your progress been these past few days?"

Ogawa asked.

"fine."

"That line again."

The boy simply shrugged in response to Xiaochuan's complaints.

He didn't know how to describe it.

After all, acting skills can't be explained by just talking.

However, according to Uehara, he has indeed made great progress in portraying the passionate aspects of the character.

As for Xia Jing's attitude, he had a general idea.

Since everything is already prepared, there's no way it can fail.

At most, it's just a matter of how far it can go.

Therefore, rather than being nervous, Sato was more focused on mentally reviewing his acting posture and so on.

He is not particularly talented; he can only make progress through continuous learning.

The two greeted the staff as they walked to the supervision office.

Besides the supervisor, there were several other people present at the scene.

Among them was a producer named Xia Jing.

Under Ogawa's worried gaze, Sato quickly walked up to Natsui and the others.

The boy followed behind Xiaochuan and quickly greeted everyone.

Please give me your guidance.

Sato finished speaking to Natsui.

"Um?"

Xia Jing didn't really care about this boy at first.

After all, he wasn't originally in charge of martial arts or anything like that.

My role as a producer this time was simply due to work commitments.

However, looking at the boy's appearance, Xia Jing was a little surprised for the first time.

Unlike the audition footage we saw before, Sato now looks even more handsome and dashing.

"Is the video recorder distorted?"

Xia Jing thought to himself, and then said it aloud.

While it's visually appealing, the acting quality and whether it will generate buzz after airing are all questions that remain.

Natsui wouldn't feel comfortable giving Sato more screen time just because he'd only seen a glimpse of him.

In short, if it's valuable, you go up; if it's not valuable, you go down. It's that simple.

"Then let's get ready, Chiba-san and the others will be here soon."

"Yes!"
